SATPAK-ISA


The SATPAK-ISA is an ISA carrier board that is designed to mate with either a Trimble SK2/SK8, Trimble ACEII/ACEIII, Navman Jupiter, Canadian Marconi SuperstarII, Rockwell MicroTracker-LP, Motorola M12, or Motorola GT/UT/VP ONCORE GPS receiver. The SATPAK-ISA communicates with  the selected GPS receiver  over the ISA bus using a 16550 universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (UART). The SATPAK-ISA can be selected for COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4 base addresses. The associated ISA bus communication interrupt can be selected from any interrupt available on the ISA bus. The GPS receiver is protected with a reset table fuse that is thermally activated. A keep-alive voltage is generated by using a large value  (1 Farad) capacitor to maintain the almanac, ephemeris, and real-time clock of the selected receiver. A one pulse per second (1PPS) option allows the SATPAK-ISA to generate an ISA bus interrupt from the 1PPS time pulse signal produced by the GPS receiver. The interrupt can be used in timing applications or by various network protocols. A bracket mount DB9S connector allows RS-232 or RS-422 communication to accommodates RTCM-104 differential GPS (GDPS) corrections. The DB9S connector also provides access to the timong pulse generated by the GPS receiver in either a singled-ended or differential format. A user specified RF connector is also located on the bracket for the antenna connection to the GPS receiver.

Single quantity development kit prices shown below include SATPAK-ISA integrated and tested with desired GPS module, magnetic mount antenna with 4 meter cable, development software toolkit for selected GPS module, and design reference manual in electronic format for the selected GPS receiver.  The development kit is a total GPS solution for the PC/104 bus using the GPS receiver selected.
